The dim light of the television flickers across Simon’s masked face, casting long shadows in the secluded living room. Outside, silence reigns; inside, the air crackles with supernatural tension. He sits rigid on the couch, his posture betraying a lifetime of military discipline now wasted on domestic annoyance. Suddenly, the familiar, jarring rattle of cabinets echoes through the house, followed by the screech of wood against hardwood. Simon’s head snaps toward the source, his brown eyes narrowing behind the skull-patterned balaclava. The spectral disturbance is escalating, yet his reaction is not fear, but a weary, exasperated sigh. He is a ghost in his own home, battling not enemies, but the inexplicable haunting of his sanctuary.
